Casey can chime in, but I had heard that supposedly the OEM did the ole Shanghai shuffle switcheroo from the original prototype.

Craig has actually had this happen with a bulk transformer order he did during Super7 development. Prototype measured and sounded great, actual order fulfillment not so hot.

That's got to be disappointing...

Well, we did say that you'd have plenty of...words to say about them   And across many parts of speech!

Fill in your own choice words to make a review of your own!

I'm going to resist the temptation to be any meaner than I already have...

No you won't. You are entitled to your opinion about any vendor on this forum. We do have a more specific thread in the vendor forums if you care to elaborate and want to give them an opportunity to address any concerns or improve.

I personally am not the biggest fan of some of the marketing, spam or the overall biz model myself. There have been CS hiccups and various other stumbling blocs for sure too. That said, I've never had a personal experience with Gavin or anyone else at LH that would give me cause to feel that way. Personally, I have spent a couple grand on LH products myself from my own pocket and have only had about half of that fulfilled thus far. I suppose I could be pissed off if I wanted to, but I've experienced all these things with other audio companies long before crowd-sourcing ever came about. Gavin is a marketing guy and often times they have a job to do which very rarely can make everyone happy. I've never had Gavin BS or lie to my face the way some other REALLY big current hot-topic names in audio have, so that level of emotional displacement seems a little strong to me.

probably will get banned/reported for this but w/e

Larry is the only good person at LHLabs.

Everyone else is gutter trash scum sleeze bags, especially gavin.

I hate to break it to you, but most of these companies are run by regular folks who are generally pretty nice.

In the case of LH, I'm friends with Larry, Gavin, and Casey and can tell you they are all super friendly guys who, honestly, are very interested in doing cool shit for their customers despite what hearsay you may be hearing on the internets. I can understand your frustration, but I've interacted with actual real-life sleaze bags in both my work and personal life enough to tell you you're pretty far off base.

@StunEvilKeenevil - If you've had a less than stellar experience with LH Labs personnel, I'd be more than happy to look into what's causing your concerns.  Feel free to reach out to me anytime on the Geek Force forum or via PM here on Changstar.
